And you could stand to improve your ability to get along with others without the constant sarcasm directed at anyone who disagrees with you. Seems that his reading comprehension is pretty good, although it's likely that he simply missed that small detail in the volumes of your personal history you've provided in this thread. I know I missed it, as I've taken to skimming much of what you write.

Don't take this to mean that I'm trying to diminish your experience. I am happy for you that you've overcome the cancer and I'm sure I'll never understand the level to which that has transformed your appreciation for your life and how you went about the healing process. However, your condescension towards others is overbearing.

James, loving your input here. Thanks.

I skim what PB says too, the tone puts me off.

If you actually read both you would see that we are agreeing 9 times out of 10. He's just a bit more into the conspiracy of the evil doctors meme than I am. That's a tangent as far as I am concerned. When it come to the actual topic of iodine, we agree completely.

<long rant with outdated "evidence" of how nasty chemo is.> Duh.
<more ranting about the faults of the FDA> Nobody said the system is good.
<lots of unsupported assertions about the ineffectiveness of allopathic medicine>

You need to improve your reading comprehension.

Dismiss as science fiction anything that does not agree with your opinion. That works.

What puzzling is not the content but the sheer volume. I have other things to do today. Do you?

This is, frankly, rude.

I am upset that you are speaking like this to a new member. A new member who has devoted a lot of time to address issues of concern to those participating in and reading (as I do) these Iodine threads.

And for you to make that final comment. Of all people. It reads like you are having a tantrum because you think the Iodine threads are yours and you can be the only voice of reason. You sprinkle your opinion with confidence all over this forum.

I am annoyed that a new member who is clearly educated about these issues has been treated like this.

JamesS, clearly it was frustrating being a non member and reading those threads when you had a contrary view. I appreciate the effort you took to respond. I am sorry this was your welcome. I hope you stick around about you obviously have a lot to offer this forum.

Did you miss the part where I said that he and I agree about iodine?

How about everybody *not* named James and PaleoBird can take a chill pill and let them get over their apparent internet tiff? That would the give thread a chance to not devolve into feather ruffling at least.

I'm interested in learning more about most of the things JamesS has posted about. He hasn't set off my BS-ometer yet (in the way that Grizz did quite quickly).

Well, a few people chiming in and saying "thanks James" might mitigate the rude response he received and a few people saying "that's not cool" to Paleobird might demonstrate to others reading the forum that that behaviour is not the norm.

Iodine does not cure cancer.
Iodine should not be taken in huge dosages.
Reactions said to be "detox" are actually iodine overdose symptoms.
Dr. Brownsien is a quack selling products.
The baking soda guy is a quack too.
Cancer is not a fungus.
Dr. Mercola is not always the most reliable source of info.

Places where we differ:

The evil greed factor in medicine being so huge. BTW, I never said that big Pharma wasn't evil, just not to blame and bash the doctors.
The efficacy of chemo.
The health effects of soy.

On balance, I like this guy a lot.

And get the SeaSnax. They're better than popcorn and they have iodine.
